OK, I didn't read through all the replies, so I may be contradicting or repeating.

I've tried them recently. To sample their fabric, I bought about 15 charm packs.

These are my thoughts:
(1) Price - it is amazing that they can sell charm packs/precuts at the same per yard price as yardage. I guess it is like a paid sample, to encourage people to buy yardage. I do appreciate that.
(2) quality of cotton - in general, good. But I find their shot cotton and mirage range a tad coarse. I'd stick to Konas.
(3) Design and print - I find the designs a tad simplistic/bland. It is OK for pastels, but the designs seldom go beyond a handful of colors. Also, I find the range pretty limited. The print is a bit rough too. The fine lines does not seem fine enough. I'd stick to their pastels or background-ish prints. For focal fabrics, I'd look elsewhere.

That being said, CT is still a good place to shop, esp when they have sales.
